About Emmaus North East
Emmaus North East is a regional homelessness charity with a difference – offering more than just a bed for the night to individuals who have experienced homelessness and social exclusion.
As part of a network of Emmaus communities across the UK, Emmaus North East provides a stable home for as long as needed, meaningful work experience within our social enterprises, access to funded training, and a real opportunity for the people we support to rebuild their lives and regain independence.
In the North East, our Companions contribute to the community by working in our social enterprises. These include house clearances, stock collection, merchandising in our charity shops, running our community launderette, and creating bespoke items from recycled wood in our workshop.
At Emmaus North East, we believe in empowering our Companions by fostering autonomy and providing a transformative path to recovery. We welcome people from all walks of life, understanding that homelessness has many causes.
With our new programme in County Durham, we are proud to extend our mission of creating lasting change and supporting individuals across the North East.
